CA Coastal Climate Change Adaptation Survey partners

met in Oakland in early 2011 to discuss goals of survey.
Decision-makers in California's (CA) coastal counties generally recognize that climate change will impact their communities and coastline. Yet, coastal CA communities are at different stages in developing and/or implementing climate change adaptation plans.

In order to more precisely identify community needs, USC Sea Grant is leading an effort, in partnership with 18 CA organizations, to survey coastal professionals. The goal of the survey is to understand the needs and barriers coastal communities have in planning for climate change, develop appropriate trainings and technical assistance for communities, and determine the best way to link communities to resources and tools already available.

The survey will be administered in late summer 2011. We look forward to sharing the results in late fall 2011.
